Roman Harper was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season after stuffing the stat sheet against the Falcons.

Harper won the same honor for his performance against the Bears in Week 2. After coaches film review, Harper was credited with 16 tackles, two altered passes, one sack, one pass defensed, and two tackles for losses in the Saints' 26-23 victory at Atlanta.

Looks like the winning strategy is to find good players and not rotate them so much. Then a sense of ownership of play at that position is realized.

Clay Mathews and Jared Allen COMMAND their position, and demand respect from whomever they face. Although you can't coach just anyone into becoming one of those players, holding a player responsible for his end of the line is a start.

I've been hard on him but I wouldn't want to face him, that's for sure!
Way to go, Bro!

Look, I think those that have been hard on Harper, have every right to be that way. I love the guy, but he has had some stinkers before, and he does have his shortcomings. But, he definitely seems to be a favorite of Williams, and when he is on, like last weekend, he's fun to watch.
